Summer Baby Blanket Pattern

Here comes the summer!

Today I have a beautiful and EASY blanket for you. It’s soooo simple and yet looks so pretty and gives an amazing drape!

You will need:

• 4mm hook – You can grab the same hook set that I have here.
• Double knit or light worsted weight yarn. I used Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze DK in marble which you can get here.
• Sharp yarn needle – You can purchase one here.
• Scissors

The Gauge swatch is 4 inches by 4 inches = 20 chains by 11 rows using the pattern below.

If you would like to know how much yarn is needed for each size blanket, this information is available on the PDF version on my Etsy.

Notes:

• Ch 2 counts as the first sc and ch 1 of each row throughout the pattern.
• Special sts – ESC – Go into the st, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.

Pattern:

If you’re not sure on the stitch abbreviations I have a full printable PDF which you can grab here.

If you would prefer the video tutorial I have that too and you can find it here.

Start by making a slip knot and chain the amount stated on the chart for your sized blanket.

R1: 1 sc into the 2nd ch from the hook. *ch 1, sk 1 ch, esc* repeat to the end. Working 1 esc into the top of the last ch. Ch 2 and turn

R2:  Sk 1 esc and ch 1 sp, 1 esc into the next st, *ch 1, sk 1 ch, 1 esc into the next st* repeat to the end of the row.  Put 1 esc into the top of the 2nd ch of the ch 2 from the beginning of the last row. Ch 2 and turn.

Repeat row 2 until you reach the amount of rows specified in the chart above for your size blanket. This blanket can be made with any DK yarn in any colour so let your imagination run wild.

Border:

Once you’ve completed your last row ch 1 and turn, sc evenly around each side of the blanket making sure to put 3 sc into each corner. I like to put 1 sc into the end of each row to make it even on both sides.

You can then add a border of your choice or leave it as is.

Fasten off and weave in your ends and you have a beautiful textured blanket ready for your home or to gift to someone you love.

Happy crocheting!
